 BeviIIe Quits Board
 After it was contended by some that his election was illegal in that three members on the high school board are already from the town district and that the other two should be selected, one from each of the rural districts, Paul Baxter Beville in a statement made public Saturday announced his withdrawal from the board of trustees of the Mesa Union High school.
 Beville was elected to the board at the election held several weeks ago. receiving a majority or votes. Since then the point has been brought up that three members of the board al- ready represent his district and that BeviIle's election as a fourth member was illegal. Rather than cause any friction or otherwise depreciate the ef- ficiency of the present board, Beville has announced his withdrawal. Under those conditions, Zeb Pearce. the retir- ing member of the board this term, it is understood. will continue to serve as a representative of the Alma district until his successor from that district is selected.
