Mitchell, son of A. L. Mitchell, seized with Cramps Last Sunday While Taking a Swim A telegram was received here last Sunday evening, announcing the death of young Mitchell and was delivered to his father Monday. A. L. Mitchell, left for Seattle Monday afternoon. The young man, who had made his home in Seattle for the last three years, was well known here where he frequently visited his parents. His mother died about a year ago. He was an unusually bright and promising young man, universally liked for his amiable and manly character. Universal regret is expressed over the sad affair. The following account of the sad affair appeared in last Monday's P. I. Aaron D. Mitchell, 24 years old, a reporter in the employ of the Seattle office of Bradstreet's mercantile agency, was drowned in Lake Union yesterday afternoon before the eyes of his bosom friend and roommate, John W. McKean, who made a frantic effort to save him. The two young men, who have lived at the home of McKean's father, C. D. McKean, a retired merchant, at 1711 Ravenna boulevard, recently purchased a small sailboat. Yesterday afternoon the two young men went out for a sail on Lake Union. They had gone about 500 feet from the foot of Newton street when Mitchell suggested that they take a swim. Mitchell, who was wearing a swimming suit and had been in the water twice, for a third time plunged into the lake and swam about 100 feet from the boat. McKean was busy undressing when he heard Mitchell shout: "Hurry, hurry, Jack, hurry, I'm going down!" McKean, who is a strong swimmer and has taken several prizes for his skill in the water, swam rapidly toward his companion. "Stick her out, old man, I'm coming, hold on! shouted McKean as his powerful strokes brought him nearer Mitchell. As McKean approached within ten feet of Mitchell the drowning man sank for the last time. McKean dived in an effort to save Mitchell, and finally returned to the boat exhausted. He put for shore, where he notified residents living on the lake front, and later joined searching who, with grappling hooks, tried to recover Mitchell's body. Efforts will be renewed today. McKean says Mitchell was a good swimmer and spent a great deal of time during the summer months about the lake. Mitchell came to Seattle about three years ago, and has been in the employ of Bradstreet's for about a year. He and McKean were in the same class at Wilson's Business college.
