When he took out his bag to put away the money he received for the suspenders, two tramps saw him and decided to rob him. They followed Izzy along the railroad track. When Izzy saw them he started to run, but he was hampered by his stock in trade and the tramps soon caught him. At the point of their revolver they took away his tray, his bag of money and even his coat. Then they disappeared into the woods. While they were counting their plunder, Izzy appeared again. The tramps threatened to kill him, but Izzy said he didn't come to get his money bag; he simply wanted to show his friends that he had really been robbed by real robbers. "To make them believe me, would you kindly shoot some holes in my clothes?" said Izzy. The tramps took it as a huge joke and fired five shots through Izzy's clothes. "Shoot me also through the hat," said Izzy. "We'd like to accommodate you, but we have no more bullets," said the tramps. "Then I'll accommodate you," said Izzy, and, so saying, he made a sudden assault upon them, punching, kicking and wrestling with them until the tramps were finally laid "hors de combat" by the athletic peddler. Izzy smiled happily, gathered up his money, put his coat on, adjusted his tray and departed, having come out of the deal richer by one nickel-plated revolver, which he appropriated in payment for his trouble.
