It is common to replace the names in stories. This is sometimes due to inaccurate memories. It also happens sometimes when a chassidishe maaseh is being used by the yeshivishe oilem, and choose to use a character from the non-chassidishe communities. This story is told as occurring by Reb Laizer Dzikover, son of Reb Naftoli of Ropschitz. Minor details are different.
