A Mix-Up Over a Matter of Putting on the Brakes. C.E. Somerville, a motorman, arrested Saturday evening by Patrolman Deigh on a charge of assaulting J.B. Graber, was discharged by Police Judge George this morning. Graeber, who is a conductor, was employed on the same Cedar street car with Somerville. The latter claimed that Graeber purposely applied the brakes as the car was going up the Virginia street hill after leaving First avenue, and as a result the car slipped back to First avenue. Somerville met Graeber on First avenue near Pike street. The result was that Somerville slapped Graeber. It appeared that Graeber was in the wrong and Judge George discharged Somerville
