GODDARD ITEMS.
GODDARD, August II,

GODDARD, August IL
To the Editor OF the Eagle:
Yesterday afternoon was o time of
excitement in the usually quiet little
city of Goddard. A man by the
name of Arthur WeIman, who has
been about the town for some time,
and who ran a thresher engine for S.
Ii. Anderson, went into Will Cole
mans restaurant and called for lemon
ade, and before drinking it was going
to pour whisky into it from bottle
which he had with him, to which Cole
man objected After considerable
swearing he drank the lemonade with
out the whisky, aud then quarreled
with Coleman about the price of the
lemonade, cnrsing and abusing Cole
man until the latter called Marshal
Pruitt TO arrest him. He, however,
refused to be arrested, when Pruitt
called armed assistance. Ed Pyle and
S. G. Suellen went with their shot
gnns, and with the marshal followed
Welman to the railroad, where he still
refused to be arrested. After consid-
cradle parley with the marshal he
finally consented to go to Judge JAR
rett's Office, but still insisting
that he would not be arrested.
After going to the judges Office he
agreed that he would appear for trial
Monday morning and was allowed to
go his way to the hotel. Soon after
Bill Martin, who had also imbibed too
freely of ST. Marks tea, come diving
through the town like John, and re-
peated the performance when the
marshal felt called upon to arrest him
and proceeded to do SO, but he like
wise resisted. With the assistance of
Constable j. A. Brown and others he
succeeding in getting him down, and
finally subdued.
This morning Welman appeared at
the judges Office according to prom
Use, but when the marshal left the
room to summon some witnesses he
concluded he wanted TO look at a corn
field east of town and quietly walked
away, and at tins writing has not re-
turned. Martin was assessed 800 and
costs and says he don't do so some
more. Both of these men appear to
be very quiet when sober.

effect yesterday reducing the number Of

ten to eight hours a day and cutting down
work on Saturday to four hours a day.
The same reduction is to be made in the
shops at Kansas City and Denver. There is
considerable dissatisfaction among the men,
about 800 of whom are displeased by the
order in Omaha. The company claims it
had to reduce and rather than discharge q
large number of men it concluded to reduce
the number of working hours so all could
have work. The cut amounts to about 20
