On my kids bike, the rear axle (thru a Bullseye hub) loosened up. It
is a 7 speed freehwheel on a 135mm rear. It seems to be held on the
freewheel side by a set screw, and on the other side by nothing. How
do I keep this fella from sliding back and forth? Any hints
appreciated.

Bullseye is still in business, but no web site. Call with questions,
order parts, etc. In North America: 1-800-874-0600
Note that "grub screw" is also called "set screw" (depending on country).
