Y. Notice of the levy of the attachment was served on Joel Eaton, jr., the secretary of the Council Bluffs Gas Light Company. The petition alleges that “he is the holder of seven hundred and fifty shares of the capital stock, and that they were transferred to him by Amasa E. Swift without consideration, for the. purpose of placing them beyond the reach of creditors. Testimony was offered for the purpose of showing the manner and circumstances of the transfer of this stock to Eaton. Upon objection of .defendant the testimony was rejected.

It is altogether immaterial in what manner Eaton acquired the shares claimed by him.
The record discloses no error. Aeeikmed.
