for the Office of County Attorney and
took Office on Jan. l, 1907. In 1908
he again tried for the Office but was
defeated by Guy Hildreth of Gar
diner. Again in 1910 he ran for the
office and was elected, taking office
the first of 1911. In april 1911 he
resigned and was appointed by Gov
ernor Plaisted as Justice Of the Su-
perior court for a term of seven
years. In 1918 he was reappointed
by Governor Milliken. He stated
that petition was prepared by the
members of the kennebec Bar re-
questing this action by Governor
Milliken and that every member OF
the bar. with one exception, signed
the paper. Judge Beane smiled as
he said that this man was one of
his close friends and that he had a
very good reason for this action. He
has held that position since taht
time.
With regard to his present plans
Justice Beane stated that while he
had received a very fine offer to go
into business here, he did not feel
that it would "be fair to the boys"
as he has had his opportunity. He
stated that he ans some probate work

One phase of his younger life,
which is little known by those who
have only seen him in the judicial
robes presiding over a trial, is the
history of his athletic prowess while
in school. He played in the first
football game that was ever played
at Tufts college. This was in 1874
between Harvard and Tufts.
At Rents Hill he played upon a
baseball team called the."Critchons,"
which had as school rivals the
"Olympics" From these two teams
the Kents Hill varsity team was
chosen. and he played short stop on
the varsity team. At Westbrook
seminary he played shortstop in 1871
and PLAYED the same position at
Tufts all four years. He rowed at
No. on the Tufts boat crew. He
also was a good boxer in those days
and now has a keen interest in box
ing as well as all other sports.
