Historic Site Anderson Loses Leg At Up To Date Thomas Anderson, 39, of 18 Allen place, suffered the loss of part of his lower right leg when he was pinned underneath the marquee of the Up To Date 278 Main street, which fell to the sidewalk shortly after noon. City Detective Doerr said. The detective said the accident occurred just after Anderson, a porter, employed by the Up To Date, left the store for lunch. Doerr said Dr. Vincent S.

Bel trani, Pleasant Valley, amputated Anderson's partially severed leg to free him. ANDERSON WAS admitted to Vassar hospital where his condition this afternoon was described as fair Lieutenant Shanahan said a hospital spokesman told him the bleeding had been stopped and that Anderson had not lapsed into' shock. The accident occurred just a day short of the anniversary of a two alarm fiire that burned through the store early last Jan. 29, damage estimated at more than $200,000. The 10 foot by 23 foot, self supportingsupporting marquee was installed on the building in November as part of a renovation program by the store.

It extended over the sidewalk to within two feet of the curb. JOSEPH FORMAN, general manager of the store, said he could give no explanation for the mishap. "There is nothing we can say at this time." he ex plained. "We just don't know what happened." Mr. torman said the store would remain closed for the rest of today, but will reopen tomorrow.

DETECTIVE SERGEANT Murphy said a store employe, Miss Doris Cooke, Hortontown road, Hopewell Junction, went into shock after the accident. The sergeant said she told him she heard a crash, then saw a man run from the Main News room on the opposite side of the street to assist Mr. Anderson. Sergeant Murphy said Dr. Bel trani, who alo was in the opposite side of the street, ran to Anderson's assistance.

CITY FIREMEN also responded to the scene to assist Anderson, who police said was the only person directly under the marquee when it fell. Among the witnesses to the ac cident, according to Detectives Brophy and Paroli, were Dennis McComb, Rhinebeck. who was standing in the front window of McComb's stationery store across the street: Gennaro Frank Soricelli. 47 Lent street, who was standing six inches from the curb in front of the Up To Date store and escaped injury by running into the street: and Clifford Shook, 19 South Water street, who was standing nearby at Main and Liberty streets. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, Main street was blocked off to traffic, and spectators were kept behind lines.

City officials at the scene included City Manager Pearce, Building Inspector Van Rouwen daal. Police Chief Martin and Lieutenant McManus. The marquee broke a large plate glass window and blocked the store's entrance. It also dumped snow on the sidewalk. ANOTHER WITNESS, Mrs.

William Robert Wood. Hyde Park, described what she saw as she approached the store. "I was crossing the street from the Dutchess bank when 1 heard a cracking sound and I yelled to the man who I saw underneath the marquee.
