Grothjan Got Into the Cooler.

Tom Gerdau and Seth Roberts somehow got the idea into their heads that Ed 
Grothjan was in some way responsible for the publication of that hair-curling 
story, and they set about to get even with him.  One day last week they 
discharged the obligation with accrued interest as it were.  They dropped into 
the City Meat Market exactly at the same time, apparently by chance, and one of 
them asked to have a few pounds of choice steak cut off immediately.  Ed sailed 
into the big refrigerator after a juicy joint, and—band went the ponderous door—
click went the latch—and away went the patter of feet down the sidewalk.  Then 
quickly returning the boys lingered near until the butcher man had plenty of 
time to cool off, when they released him, as they claim, upon his pledge of 
future good behavior, and forthwith circulated a report that Grothjan had 
gotten “into the cooler,” which caused him more or less embarrassment during 
the rest of the day, as friends would drop in from time to time to learn the 
particulars.
