 Omaha, Neb., Feb. 2S.-Harry s. Mckay of Omaha, formerly of St. Taul and Minneapolis, can get wives faster than he can obtain divorces He is under arrest in Omaha charged with having accumulated four wives with no divorces to offset his mar riages. One of the four, whom he married in St. Paul, last August, has just had her marriage annulled. The brother of the woman he married in Omaha two months after the St Paul marriage swore out a warrant of arrest for bigamy and Mckay is out on bond awaiting trial.
 And Mckay is no Adonis, either. He is AZ and fat. He is not what is called "good dresser" nor a "spender."
 Has Two Grown Children.
 Mckay was formerly an engineer on the Great Northern railroad and ran out of Minneapolis. His first marriage took place years ago and he has two grown children, both living in Minneapolis. To newspaper reporters Mckay said he did not re- nei.ber whe nhe married his first wife nor when she died. He insist ed, However, that the first Mrs. Nc Kay i. dead.
 Then he married Edna Solberg in Minneapolis, September 15, 1915.
 Next he married Miss Margaret Fi.lenw orth in St. Paul, August l 1919. A week after this marriage Mckay and his bride went to call on some friends living at the Ryan hotel in St. Paul.
 "We hope you won't get in trouble for marrying Harry, when he al ready has wife living" the friends wife said to Mrs. Mckay, confiden- tially.
 Mrs. Mckay said nothing but the next day she went to the Minneapolis court to investigate. She found Nc. Kay had never been divorced from wife number two, Edna Solberg, al. tho divorce proceedings were pend ing
 That day Mrs. Mckay number three left her husband and came back. to Omaha. She filed suit fol annullment of the marriage.
 On October ', 1919, Mckay filed suit in Omaha for a divorce from wife number two.

 Then he turned around and while his suit for divorce was pending and before the suit filed by the third wife against him could be adjudi- cated he married Miss Mildred H Milledge, 1854 Jones street, Omaha Marriage number four was per formed by the Rev. Titus Lowe of the First Methodist church of Oma- ha. One of McKay's idiosyncrasies seems to be that he insists that all his marriages be performed by a minister and in church.
 But none of his wives seems tc want to prosecute him for bigamy They are ready to obtain divorces and annullments, but not to have him punished.
 Mckay says he told lawyer in St. Paul to get him divorce from his second wife and supposed that told wife number three before he married her She found that instead of his having got divorce the wife had filed suit for divorce and this case was pending when the third ceremony was performed.
 When Mckay married the third time he took his new wife to St. Paul to spend their honeymoon, although wife number two was living in St Paul and at that time and her suit for divorce was pending in Minneapo. lis. His Minnesota friends all knew that the divorce case was pending
 And again, when Mckay married No. 4, the marriage took place ir Omaha, where the third wife was living ,and where all his Omaha friends knew that he already had two or three wives and no divorces The news of the fourth marriage was printed in all the Omaha news. papers.
 Open About His Weddings.
 Mckay was always perfectly oper about his weddings, with the excep. ton that he used "H. s. Mckay H. W. Mckay and "Harry s Nc. Kay" when applying for his license That was the only disguise he ever attempted.
 But he's a peculiar muddle. He can't remember the first names o1 his many wives. He remembers theii last names all right. And he has tc study over the order in which they come. He can remember just when his marriage took place, but wheth. CT Miss Solberg was No. ? or was No. 4, is beyond him.
